The Rimpu Mantika Festival highlights the Rimpu Parade, a signature cultural procession from Bima that showcases the elegance of women draped in rimpu cloth as a symbol of identity and cultural pride for the Bima community. Beyond the cultural parade, the festival also features a variety of rare Bima culinary delights—typically served only during sacred rituals—such as utambeca sako, karawiti, and pangaha bunga. Through this blend of tradition, attire, and gastronomy, the Rimpu Mantika Festival serves as a platform for cultural preservation and a tourism magnet that introduces the rich identity of Bima to the public and international travelers alike.
